The way future transactions will be carried is changing and all going digital. Financial institutions like banks do charge high fees in remittances but they all know and fear for their competitors that are slowly emerging with viable solutions better to their system. Though not many people or governments have embraced the blockchain technology, the wise institutions like Citi-bank, etc and some governments like China, Japan etc have decided to diversify by creating their own crypto/digital currencies. Soon, a majority of transactions will be handled via mobile phones across the globe with an incredibly small fee charge. While that is and will happen, the early individual investors into this trend are ones to benefit most, apart from financial institutions. This is true, when bitcoin started in 2013 at a 0.5cents a coin, there were few people who ever perceived it's existence and might. So, still few people invested in it but it turned out a fortune to all those that did, when it reached a 1200$ per coin price. Imagine if you had 10,000coins for a 0.5cents price and you sell each at 1200$, that's a fortune indeed.!!! However, believe me not, those days are long gone forever. You can never make a fortune once again with bitcoin. But rather, you can take that an important lesson. Today, there exists such a great opportunity better than bitcoin but the choice remains yours.
